Highlights

Enjoy transport from your Healy hotel and meet your guide for a personal tour of the rugged Alaskan wilderness.

Begin with a brief safety training and information course. Learn the specific functions of your 4WD ATV machine then hop onboard for a practice drive, making sure you’re completely comfortable before heading out into the back country. If you prefer not to drive, you can join your guide on their 2-person vehicle. Once fitted with the proper helmet, safety goggles, gloves, and optional rain gear, it’s time to be on your way.

Head out onto the area’s old coal mining trails, which spill out onto the Dry Creek River Bed — an excavation site for Athabascan Indian artifacts. Stop to explore a broken-down cabin across the river and admire the local flora while soaking up the surrounding scenery.

Continue up Black Diamond Peak for breathtaking views of the entire Healy Valley. Keep an eye out for wildlife and learn about local history from your professional guide as you go.

Take frequent breaks to savor the mountain air, snap pictures, and simply bask in the beauty of the wild Alaska tundra on this thrilling ATV journey.

Your tour concludes with hotel drop-off.

A Great Time, Especially for the Guys - Loved it! I knew this tour would be the perfect one for my husband who loves all things outdoors and ATV riding was a plus. Johnathan was our guide and he told us this was his first season doing tours, but wow, what a wealth of information he shared. He showed us a great time and took pictures of us together with impressive views surrounding us.

Great Denali Views - The trails were well maintained and had just the right level of challenge for all ages. Our guides did a great job explaining the local history of the Primrose Valley.

Best day ever in Alaska! 5 stars! - Wow! We had an incredible time. Evan and Dani were the best guides we could have asked for! I’ve never ridden an ATV before but we started slow til I was comfortable then let loose. I felt completely safe, and they customized the tour to us. We lucked out early in the season with a personal tour - it was just the two of us. They took photos for us, answered all our Alaska questions and informed us about the region. Both are so knowledgeable and friendly! My favorite part was sloshing through the mud, but if that’s not your thing you can go at your own pace. This was by far the best excursion we have done in Alaska! Watching the sunset over the beautiful mountains while we rode was the icing on the cake. Thank you Evan and Dani for an amazing adventure!

Great time all around!!! - My brother and I had an amazing time on this ATV tour!!! It was challenging but still super fun. Amazing views everywhere we looked. It was late in the season (9/20/23) and we did a nighttime tour so we got pretty cold when it started to rain at the end. Also, it was just the 3 of us which was a nice surprise (plus side to going so late in Sept). Unfortunately, we could not find any moose. Our tour guide, Jack, was awesome!!! He was very informative but still made the whole thing super fun. He taught us a lot. Would definitely want to do this tour with him again!

Great excursion! Try it.. - The guides were extremely nice and professional. With their Eastern European background, and the short time period they stayed here in Alaska, they possess surprising amount of knowledge of the state. We had a lot of fun. The ride was interesting and not really challenging. A great activity for the entire family.

“The Best Day Ever” (quoted by our guide Igor) - Our guide (Igor) was the most friendly, caring, compassionate and knowledgeable man! He told us about the owners of Black Diamond and how amazing they were! He shared historic facts about Denali and truly allowed us to get to know him! We had so much fun! Sadly didn’t see any wildlife, but could be due to the time of year we were there (late Aug plus it had rained non stop the day before and snow was predicted in two weeks). Highly recommend this tour!

Great ATV adventure - The back country 4x4 ATV trip was great. Our guide Gavin was very knowledgeable and very informative. He explained all safety and proper use details. He explained various geological details and prewarned us of upcoming trail conditions before we had to rife them. He was very aware of the diverse skill levels of the four of us in our group and led us accordingly.

Amazing experience, 1000% worth it - Our family of 4 went on this ATV ride. I can’t recommend this excursion or this company enough. The bus driver Larry told us stories and pointed out landmarks along the trip to and from our hotel. When we arrived all the guides were out front waving. They were all very welcoming and friendly. Mac was our guide for the ATV trip. He made it such a great trip! He stopped at places to show us good views, a dry cabin, a dry river. He was very knowledgeable- showing us different rocks in the dry river, animal prints, plants, and places where animals rub up against trees (markings). He took videos of us riding through the water and he even helped us find a moose and her baby (from a safe distance). This was a great trip and mac went above and beyond. I have to also shout out to our bus driver, Larry. Also Dominic from Jamaica- very friendly
